oh my god i take it back, grok is amazing

I'm sure many people have mentioned this, but I think it needs to be mentioned again: women do not have yearbooks. Children do. Because yearbooks contain photos of high school students. Or younger.

You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen.

Still a lot of "not sure" among independents: today.yougov.com/politics/art...

truly a phenomenal night for messy bitches who love drama (it's me I'm bitches)

There is literally no way we're hanging on for more than a couple weeks, but for now, LET'S FUCKING GO BABY

I was surprised i hadn't seen anyone isolate this yet, I think the actual disgusting thing here is that none of the other journalists there stick up for her or ask her question again or anything else. They act like it didn't even happen.

"my extremely long friendship with the most notorious child sex trafficker of modern times has caused me to withdraw from public life. that said, I'm excited to teach your children next semester" — larry summers

every epstein email is some creep complaining about MeToo and then being like “oh before i forget, any advice on how to use my position of authority to force women into sleeping with me?”

Look I’m just trying to prepare y’all for the inevitable VF profile on “the quiet strength” of Majorie Taylor Greene

Gotta say, very on-brand for Harvard to stand by a professor who's been publicly revealed to have discussed his methods for preying on his students with Jeffrey Epstein.

One time I spent five minutes at lunch drawing a reverse centaur and it became one of my most retweeted pieces of art. I resented that so I deleted it but now it can be free again because not enough people follow me on here for it to go big

(spending 9 billion dollars to make a robot say "i have always loved you") hard times create strong men

I see that Playoff Darnold has returned

Suddenly Dillon Gabriel doesn't look so bad, huh?

None of this is normal! None of it is in the safe parameters of sanity!

I love how the news is like "the Left needs to learn how to reach out to young men's issues" and the young men issues are that they can't get laid and aren't making enough money with online gambling.

If and when dems ever regain power don't let yourself get excited and start thinking they will do a single thing about any of these people. They will walk free, rich, and happy until the day they die like Dick Cheney

You don’t hate the press enough.

this take gets annoying as a southerner. you should not give up on the south, but no, it is not red because of voter suppression or a lack of funding for dems. doug jones raised shitloads of money and lost. it is red because the overwhelming majority are extremely racist white conservatives

There seems to be a whole set of people in New York finance, ivy league schools, prestigious newspapers, and partisan politics who all play footsie with each other. This all puts metoo and title IX in a new context, huh? The ruling class were closing ranks to protect their exclusive little club.

I think the bet is "even if the Democrats ever win/we hold free & fair elections ever again, they'll be too chickenshit to do anything about it." Which, given the evidence, is not a terrible bet.

I hope they both lose

✅ He sent a birthday card to Epstein implying they share wonderful secrets ✅ He gave special accommodation to Ghislaine in exchange for her silence WHY IS THIS NOT EVERYWHERE?

What I think New York Times staff need to understand is that when you go in public, identify yourself as one of their employees, and defend the paper's actions, people are going to see you as a representative of the whole organization.

Clearly us unwashed, mouth-breathing barbarians are too stupid to recognize when a news room makes a sketchy decision. Let's wait for the silver spoon, nepo-baby Ivy Leaguers who staff the NYT to tell us what to think. It isn't like they've shown their ass publicly and repeatedly these past years.

And the NYT is well known for waiting for context of emails before running stories that could take down politicians

It's more that people have noted how adversarial they were with Biden and Democrats and how that attitude completely vanishes with Trump and Republicans.

I, personally, would like to see dramatic consequences for senior leadership’s reprehensible and vicious crusade against trans people, so I will take what I can get but fundamentally they have a deep disdain for their main consumer base of normie libs and that base has finally taken notice

imagine defending your role in getting a pedophile elected like this. in public. listen asking if Ms Rachel was Hamas or if Mamdani's aunt actually exists is JOURNALISM. Sitting president in active pedophilia gang having thanksgiving dinner at the White House?? that's not news. C'mon.

The guy who stole a bunch of money intended to help needy children to build a sports venue for his daughter to play in? That Brett Favre?

thinking about how i get anxious writing emails because i don't want to sound like a moron while larry summers is apparently typing emails like this: u kno she dint want to talk tomorrow. make me bad pheel.

I just can't get over the fact that the NYT was publishing credulous stories about trans people being a danger to kids, while an email where their own journalist advised Epstein on how best to cover up his crimes was sitting on their servers

The media no longer functions at all. There are independent journalists still out there trying to do the holy work, and bless them, but the entire media establishment is corrupt and broken, having never really worked to begin with. They are confederates of one of the worst cover ups in history.

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

What's really heartbreaking about the startling emails released today is that, in all likelihood, everyone involved will walk away scot free. I really fucking hope not, with every fiber of my being, but good lord is it hard to be optimistic right now.

yeah it's a good thing Landon didn't publish any of this shit. the Times might have had to bump an article about trans people. bsky.app/profile/arid...

Wild how every single member of the political and business elite went into full drooling fascism the second the prospect of consequences for abhorrent behavior started to seem possible

Important to understand the Epstein stuff and the fascism and the corruption are, in a lot of ways, really all the same story from different angles: powerful men who can and do abuse vulnerable people around them because they can, and because systems of elite accountability catastrophically failed

This weird pervert and misogynist, Larry Summers, was in both Clinton's and Obama's administrations and the president of Harvard. Fuck me this sucks.

“I’m doing three hours and you’re going to put it in your theater anyway and it is going to make eight gazillion dollars” “sure thing James”

and the fact that we have a society full of people who unconsciously have their expectations reaffirmed in everything they read because they've been trained to just guess at the meanings of things until they make sense... has certain implications for politics

“Can you guess from the picture and the first letter what this animal might be?” The Teachers College curriculum trained kids to *mask* that they couldn’t read, so they didn’t get help until 4th or 5th grade. Evil.

how did i go so long not knowing we were literally teaching people to read wrong. i knew something wasn't right but jesus christ www.apmreports.org/episode/2019...

Every day I'm confronted with a new inspiring story of a community coming together to protect their own. Contrasted, of course, with the horrifying knowledge that the danger they're protecting each other from is our own government.

Nothing illustrates the arseholery of the IOC and the British Press more than the use of the image of a not-Trans woman to illustrate a story about trans women being banned (because there are no current trans women competing at this level)
